I've always had the fight in me, otherwise I would've ducked out from the internet (&life) decades ago. Thanks for being supportive, even if it's very little. You folks are reminding me that I have the capacity to be beautiful and the ability to create that which reflects my soul. Even if it's something as simple as clicking the +Fav button.

My life is markedly on the uptick, things can only get better from here. I'm serious. It's different this time.


Melodrama posting ahead:

I have been fighting a metaphorical battle in the shadows for so very... very... long.
Being alone for as much as I can remember, a scary thought, for some days I recall nothing.
No one by my side while I lifted this heavy sword,
It's to be expected, and I don't blame them you can't expect Artisans to make good battle buddies;
let alone fight your incorporeal enemies, weighed down by their own conflicts, what do you have to offer?
Most of the ghosts have been banished and finally there is control over the battlefield;
even if the reflection in the mirror is unrecognizable and fills me with sadness only a missing person could,
Can we finally start growing from the ashes? Or is there too much salt from the tears? ... I understand.
The weary Phoenix finds itself able to spread her wings again.
